It is entirely possible that I mixed up being "mature", or "ripe", and being an "overcomer". I am not always the most careful reader: I rush through the text with my conceptions (confusions?) at hand, and either cherry-pick or later mis-remember. Cassidy may have been talking about two different things and I thought (s)he was referring to them as synonymous, and muddied the discussion by bringing it in.
